I have tried to summarise the discussion and it seems like there is some consensus around the following tagging<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>hiking_scale:awtgs= as the general tag for the grade of the WHOLE track as that is what is detailed in the AWTGS guidelines <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>source:hiking_scale:awtgs= for the source of the data with values such as<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>* source:hiking_scale:awtgs=user - Where a user has defined the grading<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>* source:hiking_scale:awtgs=operator - Where the grading has been applied by the operator of the track (and the operator should also be applied to the track)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>* source:hiking_scale:awtgs=as_signed - Where the data has come from a sign located at the start of the track<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>There has also been some discussion on sections of track being graded as well. I think this needs further work as it doesn?t seem to match the guidelines and may also depend on how operators have defined the tracks >ie Is the Larapinta ?Track? all graded the same or are ?sections? rated differently? I know in the case of Tasmania the Overland Track that PWS has a single grading for the whole track but some other websites have >graded each ?section/days travel?.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>There also needs to some further clarification if this goes on the ways or relations in regards to longer defined tracks with relations.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>If we are close then I reckon an updated wiki with these values on both<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australia/Walking_Tracks">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australia/Walking_Tracks</a> and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Bush_Walking_and_Cycling_Tracks">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Bush_Walking_and_Cycling_Tracks</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>Cheers - Phil<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>That sounds great to me Phil (nearly ready for me to reapply my deleted tags). <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>However, I’m not sure I understand the difference between your suggested sources “operator” and “as_signed”.
